term.sh will be abandoned anyway-- there's no way to make it work with 
multibyte environments it seems-- by the time that the term.sh is run in 
CJK, TERM gets mashed to "dumb" and COLORTERM gets erased. Also, there's 
no way to get proprietary apps (gasp!) that expect TERM to be xterm to 
be changed.

Not sure if IIIMF is causing this or something else is at fault.
